Summary

Former President Donald Trump's "bloodbath" comment sent the corporate media into a tailspin. Join Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway and Senior Editor David Harsanyi as they analyze corporate media's 2024 election interference, revisit the elevation of Christine Blasey Ford's lies about Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and discuss the nomination of Adeel Mangi to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. Mollie also reviews Chris Fleming's and Ryan Long's comedy shows and David shares his culture picks for the week including the book Why The Bible Began: An Alternative History of Scripture and its Origins.
